Difference in 2018+ Intake Manifold Part #'s?

[Shifting_Gears]

I am noticing most places carry two different 2018+ Coyote intake manifolds. One is usually priced cheaper. It's usually labeled as "OEM Ford", whilst the other is "Ford Performance". Both appear to be the same thing. Is the difference literally one being an OEM Ford part and the other just branded as Ford Performance? Is one in any way better than the other?

Example from Steeda:

"OEM" JR3Z-9424-A $395.95
"Ford Performance" M-9424-M50C $479 - this one states "revised CMCV/IMRC valves" but those would be locked 99% of the time on a swap anyway.

Looking to get an 18+ manifold in the not too distant future and want to ensure I'm choosing the best one.

Thanks in advance.

Exactly.

It was the same way with the GT350 intake manifold. The OEM part number was about $600, while the FP part number was about $1100. Literally the same exact thing, just FP took an OEM part, slapped a new part number on it and a 50% markup.

One has the tuner, the other doesn't...so if you have access to a tuner, you only need the hardware.
